Docosahexaenoic acid shows no triglyceride-lowering effects but increases the peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation in liver of rats.
The effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation and on key enzymes in triglyceride metabolism was investigated in the liver of rats fed a standard diet, a cholesterol diet, and a pelleted chow diet. Unexpectedly, in all three rat models repeated adminis...
